My bad, I thought he was refering to the Jeep as his "scout".

JustinL · 02-22-2006, 01:46 PM

whoops, meant to put in a different forum. Yes, it would be for that jeep. heres the list of what i have done to my scout

i have a 64 scout with 6 33x13.50s mickey thompson baja claws, a warn xd9000i winch, full width dana 44s from and rear, rear is freshly rebuilt and painted (brand new drums, wheel cylinders, lines, shoes, everything except for the backing plates) and the front is ready for gears and a locker (rebuilt hubs, i have a carrier but needs gears) full rollcage that needs to be tied into the frame, power steering conversion, and a spare tranny and transfer case. it has a summit fuel cell, ooga horn (best feature), yj springs with btf shock hoops and porc shocks (15" travel, the rears are installed and the fronts need shockhoops to be made)

hells no

ninefivezero · 02-22-2006, 03:13 PM

Wait, you want to trade your working Scout, which you have worked on and spent a lot of money on, for that? I hope there is more to this trade.

Torx · 02-22-2006, 03:26 PM

finish what you started..

keep the scout. I dunno how commonplace they are in teh "off roading scene", but personally i would keep it and make it more eye candy.

~~BrentN~~ · 02-22-2006, 03:54 PM

I wouldn't. That jeep looks like a pile, ontop of that, severley modded. Whether thats good or bad, you won't know becuase you didn't do the work. I'd stick with your scout and finish it.

It sounds like you just want a change, and thats cool, but if your gonna change wait until you find something better and not just different.

Miller · 02-22-2006, 05:09 PM

keep the scout man,

scouts not working currently, you must have missed all of the work i did this summer....

heres a list of what i have left to do....

gears/locker for the front
new bearing and seals in the rear axle
tie in the roll cage
new front/rear drive shafts
finish bracing up the steering box
put in harnesses and new seats
beadlocks for the tires
reem out the pittman arm to accept a TRE
new rims
new tires
find the leak in the brake line
new shackles and bushings
new shock mounts for the front (the origonal ones are too short)
notch the crossmember to run the new exhaust
run new fuel lines
big skid plate tied into rock sliders
make a traction bar

Jackalope · 02-22-2006, 07:15 PM

almost all of that stuff can be come by on the cheap/free.

such as skid plate, traction bar, seats, drive shaft, notching etc.

that is, if you have any fab skills (which i would hope you do if you are takling a project this big)

just finish it up, and perhaps later sell it hopefully at a profit.

You know you'd miss the Scout.
